In 2018, the real estate markets have hardly been transacted according to the government's tight regulations of real estates, and have the high possibility to reach a low hit due to the hike of loan interest rates following the U. S rise of base money rate. The key profits for the large construction companies mainly come from the overseas plant projects and the domestic non-governmental construction projects. They suffered a lot such as the lowering of their credit ratings due to the large losses caused by the frquent design changes and work delay. Even in the domestic non-governmental construction projects, the general business risks are on the rise due to the property marketing moving over to the decreasing phase. The small and medium sized security companies has realized a lot of operaring profits as they participated in the PF market to make up for the losses in the securities trading business. But, now as the housing market is not so good around the nation except Seoul and the financial states of large construction companies are not good enough, they can face the liquidity crisis if there happens the problems in the PF backed securities which they have handled. As Korean economy experienced the crisis in the savings banks before, it is recommended that Financial Supervisory Service proposes the preemptive control method and supervision direction to overcome the crisis.

This study analyzed the impact of the real estate changes on the unemployment rate in Korea. Using monthly data from January 2013 to February 2023, the study employed a multiple regression analysis model. The key findings are as follows: First, there was a significant causal relationship between the real estate changes and the unemployment rate. Specifically, an increase in the real estate market led to a significant decrease in the unemployment rate, while a decrease in the real estate market resulted in a significant increase in the unemployment rate. Second, an increase in the loan interest rate was found to significantly reduce the unemployment rate, while a rise in interest rates had positive effects on the employment. Furthermore, an increase in inflation was associated with a significant rise in the unemployment rate. Moreover, an increase in the number of permits issued for housing construction significantly reduced the unemployment rate. Lastly, conducting robustness tests by substituting variables did not significantly alter the analysis results, indicating the robustness of the impact of the real estate changes on the unemployment rate. Based on the above analysis, it can be inferred that the fluctuations in real estate prices in South Korea are linked to fluctuations in the unemployment rate, and stable management of the real estate market may contribute to the stability of the unemployment rate.

본(本) 거시경제모형(巨視經濟模型)은 "케인즈"적인 소득지출모형(所得支出模型)으로서, 최근 개방화 및 자율화추세에 따라 크게 변모한 경제구조하에서 예측의 정확도를 높이고 대내외여건(對內外與件) 변화(變化)에 기인한 제반 영향을 보다 명확하게 분석하기 위해서 작성되었다. 모형(模型)의 구조(構造)는 6개 부문, 162개의 방정식으로 구성되어 있으며, 70년대와 80년대의 구조변화(構造變化)를 고려하여 1982년부터 1991년까지를 추정대상 기간으로 삼았다. 기존의 KDI 분기모형과 비교할 때 본(本) 개정모형(改定模型)의 가장 두드러진 특징은 총량변수를 항목별로 세분하여 대내외여건 변화시 경제에 마치는 영향을 기존의 총량수준보다 한 단계 더 세분화된 수준에서 파악하고자 한 점이다. 또한 각종 가격변수들의 시장조절기능(市場調節機能)을 반영하기 위해서 금리(金利), 임금(賃金), 환율(換率) 등을 내생화(內生化)하였고, 총통화(總通貨)와 장기자본수지(長期資本收支) 등도 모형내에서 결정되도록 하였다. 역사적(歷史的) 시뮬레이션의 결과, 주요 내생변수의 평균자승근퍼센트오차가 5% 내외의 양호한 수준을 나타냄으로써 본(本) 모형(模型)이 80년대의 구조변화(構造變化)를 적절히 반영하고 있다고 볼 수 있다. 정책(政策)시뮬레이션은 원유 및 원자재수입가격과 같은 해외여건(海外與件) 변화(變化)와, 기타건설(其他建設), 정부소비지출(政府消費支出), 국내민간신용(國內民間信用)의 확대와 같은 정책변화(政策變化)의 두 부문으로 나누어 시행하였다. 원유 및 원자재가격의 상승은 우리 경제에 부(負)의 공급충격(供給衝擊)으로 작용함으로써 성장을 둔화시키고 물가를 상승시켰으며, SOC 투자를 포함한 기타건설(其他建設)의 증가(增加), 정부소비지출(政府消費支出),의 확대(擴大), 민간신용(民間信用)의 증가(增加)는 모두 단기적으로 경기부양의 효과는 있으나 장기적으로 물가를 더욱 상승시키는 것으로 나타나 물가(物價)와 성장(成長)이 서로 상충관계에 있는 것으로 파악되었다.

This study analyzed the effect of bank loans on housing prices, classified bank loans into bank total loans, household loans, and real estate mortgage loans, and analyzed housing prices by dividing them into national-level, regional-level, and Seoul-level housing prices. The main analysis results are as follows. First, it was found that the increase in total bank loans significantly increased housing prices across the national-level, regional-level and Seoul-level. Second, it was found that household loans had a positive effect on regional-level housing prices, but were not statistically significant. In addition, the effect of bank loans on regional-level housing prices was found to be relatively small compared to the effect on national-level housing prices. Third, it was found that there was a difference in the effect of bank loans on regional-level housing prices and Seoul-level housing prices. Fourth, inflation and bank total loans had a significant positive effect on regional-level housing prices with a lag in the first quarter, and short-term interest rates had a significant negative effect on Seoul-level housing prices with a lag in the first quarter. Overall, it was found that the effect of bank loans on housing prices had a positive effect about twice that of Seoul-level rather than regional-level.

In the shipping industry, it is essential to engage in the preemptive prediction of freight rate volatility through market monitoring. Considering that freight rates have already started to fall, the loss of shipping companies will soon be uncontrollable. Therefore, in this study, factors affecting the freight rates of bulk carriers, which have relatively large freight rate volatility as compared to container freight rates, were quantified and analyzed. In doing so, we intended to contribute to future shipping market monitoring. We performed an analysis using a vector error correction model and estimated the influence of six independent variables on the charter rates of bulk carriers by Handy Size, Supramax, Panamax, and Cape Size. The six independent variables included the bulk carrier fleet volume, iron ore traffic volume, ribo interest rate, bunker oil price, and Euro-Dollar exchange rate. The dependent variables were handy size (32,000 DWT) spot charter rates, Supramax 6 T/C average charter rates, Pana Max (75,000 DWT) spot charter, and Cape Size (170,000 DWT) spot charter. The study examined charter rates by size of bulk carriers, which was different from studies on existing specific types of ships or fares in oil tankers and chemical carriers other than bulk carriers. Findings revealed that influencing factors differed for each ship size. The Libo interest rate had a significant effect on all four ship types, and the iron ore traffic volume had a significant effect on three ship types. The Ribo rate showed a negative (-) relationship with Handy Size, Supramax, Panamax, and Cape Size. Iron ore traffic influenced three types of linearity, except for Panamax. The size of shipping companies differed depending on their characteristics. These findings are expected to contribute to the establishment of a management strategy for shipping companies by analyzing the factors influencing changes in the freight rates of charterers, which have a profound effect on the management performance of shipping companies.

The pupose of this paper is to construct a price determination model of the Korean economy and to find out the propogation mechanism of monetary and fiscal policies. The model is a small-size macroeconometric model consisted of ten core equations : consumption, investment, exports, imports, consumer price index, wage rate, corporate bond rate, potential GNP, capital stock, and GNP identity. The model is a Keynesian model : consumer price index is determined by markup over costs, and wage rate is expressed by Phillipse curve ralation. Two features of the model, however, distinguish this model from other macroeconometric models of the Korean economy. First of all, the estimation of potential GNP and the capital stock is endogenized as suggested by Haque, Lahiri, and Montiel (1990). This allows us to calculate the level of excess demand, which is defined as the difference between the actual GNP and the potential GNP. Second, interest rate, inflation and wages are all estimated as endogenous variables. Moreover, all quantity variables include price variables as important determinants. For instance, interest rate is an important determinant of consumption and investment. Exports and imports are determined by the real effective exchange rate. These two features make the interactions between excess demand and prices the driving forces of this model. In the model, any shock which affects quantity variable(s) affects excess demand, which in turn affects prices. This strong interaction between prices and quantities makes the model look like a classical model over the long run. That is, increases in money supply, government expenditures, and exchange rate (the price of the U.S. dollar in terms of Korean won) all have expansionery effects on the real GNP in the short run, but prices, wage, and interest rate all increase as a result. Over the long run, higher prices have dampenning effects on output. Therefore the level of real GNP turns out to be not much different from the baseline level ; on the other hand, the rates of inflation, wage and interest rate remain at higher levels.

This paper provides information for decision making of the managers and the staffs of oriental medicine hospitals through the analyzing financial statement. The oriental medicine hospitals decreased total assets, total gross revenues, and increased debt. Comparison of years 2008 and 2010, oriental medicine hospital's total assets decreased, liabilities increased, total revenue decreased, and showed a continuing deficit. On the other hand, the rate of net worth of the oriental medicine hospitals were high and lower dependence on the borrowings. So the management performance of the oriental medicine hospitals as a whole were good. However some the oriental medicine hospitals were experiencing serious financial difficulties. In order to the hospitals overcome its financial difficulties, they had to rely on short-term borrowings. In consideration of the reserve fund for essential business, the transfers and the net profit ratio to total assets of the operating profit ratio to total assets were the level of commercial interest rates. But the operating profit ratio to the total assets were significantly different according to the hospitals. And 10 hospitals of the operating profit ratio to gross operating revenues were (-), they had problems with profitability. Meanwhile the total amount of capital and the equity capital of reduced hospitals increased, there were significant differences even between hospitals.

In the future, the global container handling market will be reorganized into larger ships and shipping alliances, and the bargaining power of shipping companies will be further strengthened. Therefore, the global terminal operator (GTO), which has a global network, vast experience, and operational know-how, is expected to strengthen its competitiveness. In Korea, the central government promoted the development of GTOs in the mid-2000s, but it failed, mainly due to disagreements between port stakeholders. In this study, the macroeconomic indicators that have the same effect in all regions were used to analyze GTO management performance. In the short term, it could be used to establish the business strategy of domestic terminal operators based on changes in macroeconomic indicators. In the long term, it would be used to establish a promotion strategy for GTOs in Korea. The results of analyzing the impact of macroeconomic indicators on the GTO's profit show that the GTO's profit is significantly affected by cargo handling capacity, the consumer price index of the United States, the Shanghai Composite Index, the Crude Oil Price, and the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (LIBOR). However, the scale of impact was not significantly different between public and private GTOs.
